Description 

Between 1881 and 1917, 29 sacred 

objects were removed from the 

Hawaiian Islands by, variously, the 

Alaska Commercial Company, Arthur 

Rodgers, Franc ̧ois L. A. Pioche, H.W. 

O’Melveny, Jackson R. Myers, Phoebe 

Apperson Hearst, and other unknown 

collectors, and were donated to the 

Lowie Museum (Phoebe A. Hearst 

Museum of Anthropology). The sacred 

objects are one ‘opu‘u (pendant), one 

‘umeke (bowl), 10 hoana (grindstone), 

one ‘ihe (spear), one ipu ‘aina (scrap 

bowl), one ipu kuha (spittoon), two 

ku ̄pe‘e (anklet/bracelet), one makau 

(fishhook) or niho palaoa (whale tooth 

pendent), four niho palaoa (whale tooth 

pendent), two lei niho palaoa (whale 

tooth pendent human hair necklace) and 

five lei lauoho (human hair necklace). 

The human hair in the two lei niho 

palaoa and five lei lauoho are 

reasonably believed to have been freely 

given or naturally shed by the 

individuals from whom it was obtained. 

Five sacred objects were removed 

from the Hawaiian Islands by Mr. and 

Mrs. Gardner Dailey and were donated 

in 1970 to the Lowie Museum (Phoebe 

A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology). 

The sacred objects are five lei hulu 

(feather necklace). 

Also, 301 additional items which are 

not ‘cultural items’ under NAGPRA are 

being returned pursuant to the 

University of California Native 

American Cultural Affiliation and 

Repatriation Policy, Section V.G., 

Voluntary Deaccessioning of Items 

which are not NAGPRA/CalNAGPRAeligible. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The cultural items in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: Tribal traditional 

knowledge, geographical, and historical. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the University of 

California, Berkeley has determined 

that: 

• The 34 cultural items described 

above are specific ceremonial objects 

needed by traditional Native American 

religious leaders for the practice of 

traditional Native American religions by 

their present-day adherents. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the cultural items and 

the Council for Native Hawaiian 

Advancement, and Hui Iwi Kuamo‘o. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural items in this 

notice must be sent to the Responsible 

Official identified in ADDRESSES. 

Requests for repatriation may be 

submitted by any lineal descendant, 

Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice 

who shows, by a preponderance of the

Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

Repatriation of the cultural items in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after January 4, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the University of California, Berkeley 

must determine the most appropriate 

requestor prior to repatriation. Requests 

for joint repatriation of the cultural 

items are considered a single request 

and not competing requests. The 

University of California, Berkeley is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Native Hawaiian 

organizations identified in this notice.
